3. If you are refering to the 'Stan Lee created this guy' deal, I think it was obvious that Smilin' Stan didn't create him as he is better known for making characters that are, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, original.

4. The same idiot that had Harvey re-flip his coin when he didn't like the result. Two-Face never re-flips!

5. Ha!

6. I didn't know that.

7. He's like an evil ancestor of Aquaman, right? I think I saw that on the interweb.

8. Never throught of that. Then again, crime-fighting does seem to interfere with studying.

9. Haven't read LSH since Crisis. But given the team working on it, I'd say it's in good hands.

1. Also besides being a generic mage, Tempest can change the temperature of water, freezing or boiling it.

2. Does Brad Meltzer counts?

3. Well, there is a lot of people that either still thinks that The Sentry was really created by Stan Lee or think that was created by Brian Michael Bendis (since the character wasn't used for so long before the New Avengers appearence.

10. There was an issue of Swamp Thing that had an map of Gotham... though don't ask me what number was. Of course was just the neighborhood layouts no detail on the streets.

1. I'm trying to pick a heroclix dial for him. Can he fly? Can he attack from a distance?

2. Bwa-ha-ha-ha! I have GOT to tell that one to Brad....! He's a wonderful guy, by the way, not a villain.

10. Oh, there IS a map. It was published in a Secret Files, used extensively in No Man's Land, and (if you look carefully) is pretty much unchanged in "Batman Begins". The info's out there; why the HECK doesn't DC turn it into a POSTER?!?!?!

Aqualad: His abilities as Aqualad were slim. He posessed incresed strenth, speed, hearing and sight; as well as the telepathic ability to communicate with fish and other sealife, and to live naturally under water.

Tempest: He retains all previous abilities, as well control over heat and cold, stun blasts that are emanted through his eyes, and control over water (i.e funnels, tidal waves).

So he can't fly (was in doubt about this one... never read a story where he does that, but hey, you never know) and can attack from distance (though I don't remember this attack being that great). Also the talking to fish part is kinda sketchy (there was time where his power was just like aquaman, where he commanded the marine life, them after Millenium he was able only to make requests to fish, not order them around, them on the Peter David run prior to him becoming Tempest he wasn't able to talk to fish at all (or at least to dolphins. I remember a scene where a dolphin is talking about a flying dolphin to Aquaman and Dolphin and they say "WHAT?" and aqualad says how he miss not having knowing another language.

Oh, well, okay, then they should make a poster.

But don't blame me if, in five years, there's a massive, 24-month long reboot 'event' called 'INFINITE CARTOGRAPHIC CRISIS'.

I have a copy of The Atlas of the DC Universe by Paul Kupperberg, that was put out in connection with Mayfair Games for RPG stuff, I guess in about 1990. This has a map of Gotham (as well as of a lot of other fictionopolises). Is this anything lke the Secret Files/No Man's Land one? It does put GC in Jersey.
